Best All-Around Player in NFL History???

So who is considered the best "all-around" player in NFL history?

My vote goes to Sammy Baugh who once led the league in passing, punting, and interceptions...

Not for "All-Around"...Baugh "led" the league in passing, punting and a defensive category all in one year...Payton nor Rice at their best can say that.

No, sorry. If it's not Baugh, it's got to be someone from the Ironman era, at the very least.

That was in reponse to the Payton/Rice suggestion. I was saying that it has to be Baugh or someone else from the Ironman era, understand?

Paul Hornung?...Halfback, could pass, and did the kicking on the team?

Frank Gifford started out as a DB and later I think a HB and then a WR...

or Billy Cannon?...I think he went RB and then TE etc...

Blanda?
